Question

Or otherwise?

Mrs - people who ran won't come home unless they think it is safe to.

Thats what I was getting at cowboy

LOL I guess you folks didn't see the "Or Otherwise".

Answer 1

No, the $604 billion dollar (and increasing) price tag does.

Answer 2

Millions of refugees is a difficult problem, Failure in Iraq was spelled when we failed to plan for occupation in 2003, Failure to understand the logistics and culture, has added to the failure. Any military that thinks that war is won with weapons systems rather than good planning and execution as well hearts and mind plans to fail. We have become too fascinated with high tech toys and not enough with good planning thanks to the Rumsfeld/ Cheney/ Bush political military nexus.

Answer 3

Iraq was won the day we killed Saddam. Its the dozens of secondary objectives we tacked on at the end for god knows what reason that some could question.

What the ultimate failure is here, is the number of American deaths and the total cost (both multiplied and dragged on for years due to secondary objectives).

Answer 4

only an idiot would regard returning refugees to a war zone ...failure ...gee they are either feeling safe to return to a saddamless iraq or living a horrible life elsewhere...

either way they are going home and receiving help to do so...
a rebuilt Iraq will be better than tyranny under Saddam

Answer 5

this has nothing to do with combat . So it doesn't point to either. Trying to get back home does not mean success.

Answer 6

did you even read the story. how can returning refugees spell failure. LMFAO...only with liberal spin from the pelosi reid regime. RETURNING REFUGEES MEANS THE SURGE IS WORKING...GENIUS.... once again a liberal in need of a fact checker. it spells ...success.
